Squint Shot 062812

Yesterday, I happened to be in town for a few errands and deliveries and noticed tall -- very tall -- ladders leaning against the building at the northeast corner of North Grand and East Grand River avenues.  Gormley & Johnson, Attorneys-at-law, to be exact.  After I parked my truck, I was compelled to take a couple quick squint shots for today's post.  It would appear the paint being applied is pretty close to what is already on the brick, so we won't be seeing any major changes but definitely a freshen-up.

Cool picture, huh?!  And now, here's a close up:
